Sharp Sharp

I created these designs for promoter Tim Merricks, who is organising this gig in aid of Ganet’s Adventure School, Malawi. The lo-fi blues and surf sounds of the bands fit the handpainted style, which was also inspired by the signs and adverts found painted on walls everywhere you go in Malawi. Both backgrounds are composite images made from my own photography of Malawi; I also created the handpainted lettering myself (zero budgets force you to be resourceful!)

More about the gig can be found here.

This is a self-initiated project to raise funds for Ganet’s Adventures School, a rural primary school in Malawi. While in Malawi in October 2009, I organised an art activity for the students, and photographed the origami stars which they created. These photos were then used as Christmas card designs, printing was generously donated by Preview Design. Over 2,500 cards were sold, raising over £1,100 for the school.
